satsuhikari 0 Posted April 2, 2009 Still no Banzuke thread for Natsu 2009? And no predictions from the press (jiji, mainichi...)? Before posting my Makuuchi gues, I'll post my Juryo: Tosayutaka... J1 Mokonami Masatsukasa.. J2 Wakakoyu Kitataiki.... J3 Toyozakura Kasugao...... J4 Tosanoumi Sakaizawa.... J5 Kotokuni Koryu........ J6 Ushiomaru Kotokasuga... J7 Hakuba Kasuganishiki J8 Kyokunankai Shirononami.. J9 Wakatenro Daishoumi... J10 Asofuji Hoshihikari. J11 Kaiho Kirinowaka.. J12 Sagatsukasa Tamaasuka... J13 Kiyoseumi Jumonji..... J14 Okinoumi Any comments, corrections? (In a state of confusion...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kofuji 0 Posted April 2, 2009 Which rank is going to be blank due to someone getting caught for drug use between bashos? I figure it will be on the East side since I fixed the Juryo Game to handle a missing rank on the West side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Doitsuyama 1,192 Posted April 2, 2009 Which rank is going to be blank due to someone getting caught for drug use between bashos? I figure it will be on the East side since I fixed the Juryo Game to handle a missing rank on the West side. My bet is on Chiyohakuho... wasn't he the guy dubiously missing the initial drug tests?

Kotoviki 16 Posted April 2, 2009 Which rank is going to be blank due to someone getting caught for drug use between bashos? I figure it will be on the East side since I fixed the Juryo Game to handle a missing rank on the West side. ;-) Do we have to have one every basho?? Or will they stop when the guys smarten up???? (In a state of confusion...) But this is funny!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peeter 15 Posted April 6, 2009 Possibility, that first 4 places in Natsu Banzuke own foreigner is near 100% - Y Hakuho-Asashoryu O1 - Kotooshu-Harumafuji. Was there ever such situation in ozumo history? (In a state of confusion...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Asameshimae 220 Posted April 6, 2009 I figured after they unceremoniously kicked out the Russians, that anybody else who had been doing it would count themselves lucky and smarten up, or at least beeb more careful. Anyone still using pot or other drugs in such an insular world is basically begging to be kicked out. Who knows, maybe Wakakirin secretly wanted out? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Asameshimae 220 Posted April 6, 2009 Kofuji, I just read your signature. Heh, I haven't read the Hitchhiker series in ages, but I recall even Marvin admitted he could live with that message! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sasanishiki 57 Posted April 6, 2009 Possibility, that first 4 places in Natsu Banzuke own foreigner is near 100% - Y Hakuho-Asashoryu O1 - Kotooshu-Harumafuji. Was there ever such situation in ozumo history? (In a state of confusion...) No, not for the top four positions because at other times there has always been at least one Japanese rikishi around.

Bealzbob 0 Posted April 6, 2009 Perhaps foolish amateur optimism, but for me the natsu makuuchi banzuke was the easiest to make for a long while. No big decisions. No big gaps in the makuuchi requiring huge under/over promotion etc. Quite straightforward, all things considered :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
